At the risk of sounding libertarian, market-based solutions usually function better, which is to say, better to structure the market to give better incentives before the fact, rather than relying on government regulation to police compliance ex post.

I would not be for the government directly providing it. Just look at the VA system if you need more of an explanation for why.
That's why I said "directly or indirectly." But why make people pay? Let them sign up with basic coverage with whomever, and the government can pay the provider. You'll get better coverage than you would with vouchers, and you can still preserve consumer choice.
